Done and done

#1 Give up soda for a month

I did it! I gave up soda for the month of April. I don't drink much soda as it is, but I definitely have a weakness for Dr. Pepper. There's nothing better on a hot day than a big, cold glass of Dr. Pepper. Last weekend I was craving one really bad. And it doesn't help that we have a bunch of soda left over from Nate's birthday. I open the fridge, I see soda. I go in the garage, I see soda. Then to add salt to the wound, the second grade teachers threw an ice cream party for all the second graders yesterday and guess what we served them. Root beer floats! It was the last day of my month long soda fast, and I almost had one, but luckily it was cold yesterday so the temptation wasn't too bad. Just because the month is over doesn't mean I am going to start drinking soda again. I am still staying away from it, but an occasional D.P. won't kill me!

#9 Try a new class at the gym

I've been trying to workout more lately in order to get in shape for my 40 mile walk in September. I hate working out. I get really bored with it. So I thought if I tried some new classes at the gym, I would be more likely to work out on a regular basis. Yesterday I tried the power sculpt class that a teacher friend of mine takes. Another teacher friend of ours is the instructor for this class. It was actually a really good, all-over work out. I will definitely try to go at least once a week to this class. There are a few more classes I want to check out: core central, amp'd abs, and shadowboxing. If anyone wants to go with me, let me know!
